Ecare Event: Speed dating
On the first day of the conference, we will host a special event for ECARE members: an academic speed-dating.
The format is simple: multiple tables will be set up, each with one or two senior researchers—who have kindly volunteered to take part in the event—and a small group of 4–5 ECARE members. Conversations are encouraged to be informal, ranging from scientific topics to career paths, challenges in academia, and personal experiences.
The event will take place on September 3rd from 7pm to 8.30pm at Laguna Libre, a cocktail bar located a 5-minute walk from the conference venue. Each participant will be offered one drink (additional drinks can be purchased on site at personal cost).
From 8:30 PM, the venue will host a jazz concert, with an entrance fee of €15 per adult and a reduced fare of €7.50 for students.
Participation is limited to 50 attendees, on a first-come, first-served basis. A registration form will be made available soon. NOTE: participation in the event is reserved for those attending the Assembly of Members (ending at 7:00 PM). At the beginning of the assembly, a sticker will be distributed, which will be required for access to the event.
Social Dinner
As for tradition, the social dinner will take place on the second day of the conference (i.e., September 4, 2026). Details about the location, price and registration will follow.
AIP-sperimentale on a dragon boat!
Venice means water, canals and rowing! We have the chance to organize a dragon boat excursion in the canals of venice. Dragon boats (just google it) are traditional rowing boats that are typical of Eastern countries. They are quite popular in the venetian lagoon too because they do not require a specific training nor they require to be superfit to be part of it.
The association VENICE CANOE & DRAGON BOAT organizes short trips on dragon boats. We have arranged an excursion for the last day of the congress, Saturday 5 September (starting time 17:30). Participants will receive a short training then they will jump on the dragon boat and paddle along the canals of the Cannaregio area. The activity lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes and costs 21 euro. If you are willing to participate, you must contact Massimo Grassi (massimo.grassi@unipd.it) to get enrolled in the activity. Participants will be asked to pay in advance (via PayPal). In the case of rain, the event will be cancelled and half of the cost is refunded by the association. There is a strict deadline for enrolling in this activity: you must communicate your participation and pay by Friday 12 June 2026.
Participants must know how to swim.
